Torridon Convenience

I've used the store for the last 20ish years and there was a big improvement when they had the shop refitted. Unfortunately the guy behind the counter for the post office side of thing's bring the rating right down. Always rude. Always on the phone. Looks like he doesn't care and does not want to be there. The store it's self is pretty good but like I said, he brings the rating down

The store offers quite a varied range of products including fresh produce. The opening hours are quite long although they close early on Sunday. There is a pist office licated inside but their hors are shorter than the main store. The staff are polite here and they are happy to order publications for you that they don't ordinarily stock.

A really useful and welcoming local shop with an especially good range of beer and cheese, as well as lots of other staples. I feel very lucky to have this shop on my doorstep!

Opening thought: This is by far the best shop in area. If this shop continues to improve it's selection and service in the way it has been over the last two years it will soon rival the legendary Jay's Budgens of Brockley.

The younger of the four or five gentlemen who frequent the checkouts in this generally proportioned convenience shop and post office appears to be at the helm.

This is a lucky thing as this chap, exclusively, seems interested in refining his produce in areas as disparate as craft beer, Japanese whisky, small batch cheeses and North American sweet-snacks.

As a result this shop has a beer fridge better stocked than anywhere I've seen in this part of Lewisham. The alcohol corner of this shop would not be uncommon in hackney or Islington, but down here this is a rare treat for us.

The post office is excellently run, theybdont seem fussy about card spending, and they always ask how you are.

Two brief anecdotes to further illustrate the excellency of the staff here-

1) the gentleman I mentioned earlier has, in the last, ordered very hard to find beer in for me specially.

2) I once went in to the post office with a couple of hundred quids worth of mail to be sent, immediately before they closed. We got most of them processed before they closed but not the ones going to the states. The guy told me to leave them, he would get them in the post for me in the morning and I could come back and pay. I ended up forgetting for a couple of weeks and when I went back in and asked to pay the guy said that all of colleagues had called him a fool for posting my mail for me, and that I was probably never coming back, and they made him pay the 55 quid to cover the postage sent! He told me he always knew I was coming back.

Great shop, great stock, great staff. A very rare 5 stars from me

The short older guy who often runs the post office counter is extremely rude to customers. Even just asking a question about the cost of something is enough for him to spout something rude. Wont ever go here again.

Brilliant reopening today - lots of support and the interior and stock have been transformed. You have to see the new layout for yourselves. Good luck to the family it must have been expensive.

Everything you need in a local convenience store. Groceries, small selection of fresh fruit & veg, milk, eggs, frozen foods, ready meals, meat, confectionery, wine and beer, magazines, cards... the list goes on!! And a post office to boot!!

I haven’t used the post office area but the shop has a great choice with excellent friendly service :)
